context_page_description: Fort Williams Park is a 90-acre park in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, encompassing numerous historical sites. Perhaps most famous for having Portland Head Light on its grounds, the park also encompasses the decommissioned and largely demolished United States Army post Fort Williams, which was operational during World War I and World War II.
context_section_description: Goddard Mansion, a prominent ruin inside Fort Williams Park, was built in 1853–59 for Colonel John Goddard.  Colonel Goddard was a businessman who commanded the 1st Maine Volunteer Cavalry Regiment for three months during the American Civil War.  The mansion was purchased in 1898 by Judge Joseph W. Symond.  In 1900, it was acquired by the federal government during the expansion of Fort Williams.  The mansion was converted to quarters for non-commissioned officers and the basement was used as a non-commissioned officer's club.  The mansion's remaining walls still stand on the hill overlooking Fort Williams.
